September 27th, 1910.
As I was about to leave Pinchot the other day, he several
times urged me to write him and suggest "planks II for a political plat­form.
I told him that I would do so if the spirit moved me.
The other day I did feel like tryin~~ to fonllt.la.te some of
lily own ideas 1 and smne of the principles that formed the underlying
foundation of our journalistic course.
I have made two eSBaya at this task, and have at least pro­duced
a document which I can understand, and which I believe fairly
well represents the collective vie'ws of the Scripps COnCeTI1.
I have also written Pinchot a letter.
It occurs to me that during my talk with Pinchot at San
Clemente, he recalled and repeated the substance of all that was most
important in our last stllllfoor's confab. Amongst other things he said
that he had constantly in mind, while he wa.s writing his letter to
Senator Dolliver, the substance of my two letters to him a.'1d our con­versations.
For various other reasons I suspect that he put some weight
on 'fIrJ vi ewe.
I forgot to ask Pinchot his address, and I do nol. know' it.
I remsYllber that he was particular to ask me if I wrote at,
~l to get my letter to him before October 15th.
Therefore I send you in an envelope my letter to Pinchot
a.nd :my platform, and ask you to fonvard the same to him so that he may
